Under the head of "Thc Wheeling Kick

said
In giving the stand of OHIO League club.
SATURDAYS Columtus Jou,adi saws: "rhC
contested game between XaneSyillc and
Wheeling We count Tor the former hrCau>,
the umpire - declared, but the evidruc,
seems 10 favor the throwing ont Of the
game Til board Of directors of the League
will settle it" The J0W,R0i is not au.
IhOrizcd to speak for the directors of the
Ohio League, and it will strike the ave
rage citizen rs being rather fresh in that
paper giving It's opinion on i case which
has not yet been presented. When
the proper time arrives IIncS,

To prove that there WAS nothing IN the way
to prevent the game but Manager English
whim The GAINESVILLE team is no mur,
fond OF playing on bad grounds than the
Wheeling club. The first game at klIa-
maZOO last week WAS played on grounds in
much worse condition than the /iueS-
vile grounds were in on Decoration Day.
Captain Crogan, of the Wheeling club, was
willing to proceed with the game until he
was coached by English. II the Directors
OF the Ohio League wish TO encourage
cowardice in the organization let them
vote to sustain the action of the Wheeling
club in GAINESVILLE, on May 80. By doing
this thcywil also vote for an early demise
OF the League, rs the precedent would be 4
most dangerous one.
